How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Alexander, Scott G. is listed with the Miami, FL Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 22.5% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Guatemala (623 decided, 6.1% grant rate), Nicaragua (356 decided, 4.5% grant rate), and Honduras (351 decided, 7.7% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.

Grant rate is calculated as granted / (granted + denied). Other procedural outcomes, including terminated, withdrawn, administratively closed, or removed cases, are tracked separately where available and are not treated as asylum grants.
